1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. GENERAL Italian Presidential Decree no. 90 of 15 March 2010, Article 119, establishes that the Directorate of Air Armaments and Airworthiness (DAAA), in accordance with Article 745 of the Italian Navigation Code, shall be responsible for certifying, registering and authorizing Military Aircraft for air navigation. The DAAA, as National Military Airworthiness Authority (NMAA), takes part in the Military Airworthiness Authorities Forum AWA Forum) of the European Defence Agency (EDA). The aim of the Forum is to establish a common regulatory framework among the European Military Airworthiness Authorities in order to harmonise military airworthiness requirements, processes and procedures across Europe. The MAWA developed a set of European Military Airworthiness Requirements (EMARs), published by the EDA, to be implemented by each participant Member State (pMS) in its own domestic regulation framework, for the purposes of managing the initial, continued and continuing airworthiness. In this context, the DAAA is responsible for issuing, maintaining, amending, revoking, suspending and limiting Military Aircraft Maintenance Licences (MAML). The MAML is the document that enables its possessor, according to the category and the limitations specified therein, to carry out maintenance operations according to the procedures indicated in the Technical Publications (TP) AER(EP).P-2005 and AER(EP).P-145.

1.2. PURPOSE The purpose of this TP is to adopt at National level the requirements prescribed by EMAR 66 “MILITARY AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE LICENSING” for military aircraft and related components maintenance personnel.

This publication includes 2 Annexes:

• Annex 1: EMAR 66 Section A “Technical Requirements”;

• Annex 2: EMAR 66 Section A “Acceptable Means of Compliance (AMC) and Guidance Material (GM)” for all requirements listed in Annex 1.

1.3. APPLICABILITY The present TP applies to all personnel appointed to carry out maintenance activities on military aircraft and related components (military and civil personnel operating with Maintenance Organisations/Departments of Armed Forces/State Corps, approved against AER(EP).P-2005, and personnel of Companies that provide maintenance services, approved against AER(EP).P-145).

This TP does not apply to RPASs enclosed in the categories “Mini” and “Micro”, as defined in the AER(EP).P-7 (Section 4), and related products, parts and appliances. A specific TP will be issued in order to regulate maintenance licensing for Mini and Micro RPASs.

1.4. VALIDITY The present TP shall enter into force on the date of its approval. Starting from said date, the Organisations that have been approved as Maintenance Training Organisation (MTO), in accordance with AER(EP).P-147 (or a certification considered equivalent by the DAAA) may start teaching courses in compliance with the requirements of the present standard for the purposes of issuing the MAML. To enable MTOs to revise the education and training programmes according to the requirements specified in Attachments I and III, a transitional period of 24 months is established, during which it will still be possible to start teaching courses complying with the previous Armed Forces/State Corps directives. For personnel attending such courses and those already started before the issue date of the present standard, the conversion provisions of requirement EMAR 66.A.70 in Annex 1 shall apply. For the purposes of issuing the MAML, all courses that will start after the expiration of the transitional period shall comply with the requirements of the present standard. With regard to personnel who already perform maintenance work by virtue of titles held and experience gained before the date of issue of the standard, such prior qualifications shall be formally recognised. For this purpose, the DAAA will issue a specific directive to define, in addition to the procedures for applying and managing the transitional period, also the requirements and procedures for issuing of the MAML, according to the professional record and experience of each maintenance technician. The process for the recognition of the prior qualifications shall be completed no later than 30 months from the issue of the present TP.

1.5. DEFINITION AND ACRONYMS For the purposes of the present TP, EMAD 1 acronyms, definitions and terms shall apply.

1.6. REFERENCE STANDARDS AND REQUIREMENTS AER(EP).P-145; AER(EP).P-2005; AER(EP).P-147; EMAD 1; EMAR 147; EMAR 66 ed. 1.0. Where not specified, the Standards and Requirements listed above shall be understood to be in their most recent applicable version as available on EDA website (http://www.eda.europa.eu/experts/airworthiness/mawa-documents) and DAAA website

(http://www.difesa.it/SGD-DNA/Staff/DT/ARMAEREO/Biblioteca/Pagine/default_.aspx).

ACCEPTABLE MEANS OF COMPLIANCE

SECTION A

TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS AMC 66.A.10 Application

1. Maintenance experience should be written up in a manner that the reader has a reasonable understanding of where, when and what maintenance constitutes the experience. A task-by-task account is not necessary but at the same time a bland statement “X years maintenance experience completed” is not acceptable. A logbook of maintenance experience is desirable and some NMAAs may require such a logbook to be kept. It is acceptable to cross-refer in the EMAR Form 19 to other documents containing information on maintenance. 2. Applicants claiming the maximum reduction in EMAR 66.A.30(a) total experience based upon successful completion of EMAR 147.A.200 approved basic training should include the EMAR 147 Certificate of Recognition for approved basic training. 3. Applicants claiming reduction in EMAR 66.A.30(a) total experience based upon successful completion of technical training in an organisation or entity recognised by the NMAA as an Approved Maintenance Training Organisation should include the relevant certificate of successful completion of training. Where the technical training was completed in another organisation (for example a CAA or EASA approved Maintenance Training Organisation), then advice should be sought from the NMAA to ensure the training received is acceptable to the NMAA.

AMC 66.A.20(b)2 Privileges

The 6 months maintenance experience in 2 years should be understood as consisting of two elements: duration and nature of the experience. The minimum to meet the requirements for these elements may vary depending on the size and complexity of the aircraft and type of operation and maintenance. See also EMAR 145.A.35(c) regarding experience requirements and EMAR AMC 145.A.35(c) regarding military exigencies. 1. Duration:

Within an Approved Maintenance Organisation:

- 6 months working within the same organisation; or - 6 months split up into different blocks, working within the same or in different organisations.

2. Nature of the experience:

Depending on the category of the MAML, the following activities are considered relevant for maintenance experience:

CO

SO



- Servicing; - Inspection; - Operational and functional testing; - Troubleshooting; - Repairing; - Modifying; - Changing components; - Supervising these activities; - Releasing aircraft to service.

For Category A MAML holders, the experience should include exercising the privileges, by means of performing tasks related to the authorisation. This means tasks as mentioned in EMAR AMC 145.A.30(g), including servicing, component changes and simple defect rectifications. For Category B1 and B2, for every Military Aircraft Type Rating included in the authorisation the experience should be on that particular aircraft or on a similar aircraft within the same series. Two aircraft within the same series can be considered as similar when they have similar technology, construction and comparable systems, which means equally equipped, for example, with the following (as applicable to the MAML category): - Propulsion systems (piston, turboprop, turbofan, turboshaft, jet-engine or pushpropellers); and - Flight control systems (mechanical controls, hydromechanically powered controls or electromechanically powered controls); and - Avionic systems (analogue systems or digital systems); and - Weapon systems (including aircrew assisted escape systems and weapons carried); and - Structure (manufactured of metal or composite).

For Category C, the experience should cover at least one of the aircraft types endorsed on the MAML. For a combination of categories, the experience should include some activities of the nature shown in paragraph 2 in each category.

A maximum of 20% of the experience duration required may be replaced by the following relevant activities on an aircraft type of similar technology, construction and with comparable systems:

- Aircraft maintenance related training as an instructor/assessor or as a student; - Maintenance technical support/engineering; - Maintenance management/planning.

The experience should be documented in an individual logbook or in any other recording system approved by the NMAA (which may be an automated / computerised one) containing the following data:

- Date; - Aircraft type; - Aircraft identification, i.e. registration; - S1000D Chapter (optional); - Operation performed e.g. 100 flight hours check, main landing gear wheel change, engine oil check and complement, Service Bulletin (or national equivalent) embodiment, troubleshooting, structural repair, ejection seat change…; - Type of maintenance, i.e. base, line; - Type of activity, i.e. perform, supervise, release; - Category used: A, B1, B2 or C; - Duration in days or partial-days.

AMC 66.A.20(b)3 Privileges

The wording “has the adequate competence to certify maintenance on the corresponding aircraft” means that the MAML holder and, if applicable, the Approved Maintenance Organisation where he/she is contracted/employed, should ensure that he/she has acquired the appropriate knowledge, skills, attitude and experience to release the aircraft being maintained. This is essential because some systems and technology present in the particular aircraft being maintained may not have been covered by the training/examination/experience required to obtain the MAML and ratings. This is typically the case, among others, in the following situations:

- Work being carried out on a model/variant for which the technical design and maintenance techniques have significantly evolved from the original model used in the Military Aircraft Type Training/On-the-Job Training.

- Specific technology, options and configurations which may not have been covered by the Military Aircraft Type Training/On-the-Job Training. - Changes in the basic knowledge requirements of Appendix I to EMAR 66 not requiring re-examination of existing MAML holders (grandfathered privileges). - Persons meeting the requirements of 6 months of experience every 2 years only on certain similar aircraft types as allowed by EMAR AMC 66.A.20(b)2. - Persons holding a MAML with limitations obtained through conversion of national qualifications (EMAR 66.A.70), where such limitations are going to be lifted after performing the corresponding basic knowledge examinations. In this case, the Military Aircraft Type Ratings endorsed in the MAML may have been obtained in the national system without covering all the aircraft systems (because of the previous limitations) and there will be a need to assess and, if applicable, to train this person on the missing systems.

Additional information is provided in EMAR AMC 145.A.35(a).

AMC 66.A.25 Basic knowledge requirements

1. For an applicant being a person qualified by holding an academic degree in an aeronautical, mechanical or electronic discipline from a recognised university or other higher educational institute the need for any examination depends upon the course taken in relation to Appendix I to EMAR 66. 2. Knowledge gained and examinations passed during previous experiences, for example in civilian aviation and apprenticeships, may be credited where the NMAA is satisfied that such knowledge and examinations are equivalent to that required by Appendix I to EMAR 66.

AMC 66.A.30(a) Basic experience requirements

1. For a Category C applicant holding an academic degree the representative selection of tasks should include the observation of hangar maintenance, maintenance planning, quality assurance, record-keeping, approved spare parts control and engineering. Where an NMAA requires further experience or a specific training syllabus, this should be clearly detailed. 2. Moved to EMAR GM 66.A.30(a)1. 3. Moved to EMAR GM 66.A.30(a)2. 4. Moved to EMAR GM 66.A.30(a)3.

AMC 66.A.30(d) Basic experience requirements

To be considered as ‘recent maintenance experience’, at least 50% of the required one year ‘recent maintenance experience’ should be gained within the 12-month period prior to the date of application for the MAML. The remainder of the ‘recent maintenance experience’ should have been gained within the 7-year period prior to application. It must

AMC to Appendix III to EMAR 66 AMC to Section 1 of Appendix III “Military Aircraft Type Training and Examination Standard, and On-the-Job Training”

Military Aircraft Type Training 1. Military Aircraft Type Training may be sub-divided in airframe and/or powerplant and/or avionics/electrical systems type training courses.

• Airframe type training course means a type training course including all relevant aircraft structure and electrical and mechanical systems excluding the powerplant. • Powerplant type training course means a type training course on the bare engine, including the build-up to a quick engine change unit. • The interface of the engine/airframe systems should be addressed by either airframe or powerplant type training course. • Avionics/electrical systems type training course means type training on avionics and electrical systems.

Type training for military specific systems (and their interfaces with other aircraft systems) may be included in these sub-divisions as appropriate, or carried out as a separate course.

2. Practical training may be performed either following or integrated with the theoretical elements. However, it should not be performed before theoretical training. 3. The content of the theoretical and practical training should:

• address the different parts of the aircraft which are representative of the structure, the systems/components installed and the cabin; and • include training on the use of technical manuals, maintenance procedures and the interface with the operation of the aircraft.

Therefore it should be based on the following elements:

• Type design including relevant type design variants, new technology and techniques; • Feedback from in-service difficulties, occurrence reporting, etc; • Significant applicable airworthiness directives and service bulletins or national equivalent; • Known human factor issues associated with the particular aircraft type;

For the purpose of identifying the specific elements constituting the training course, it is acceptable to use a filtering method based on criteria such as:

o Frequency of the task; o Human factor issues associated to the task; o Difficulty of the task; o Criticality and safety impact of the task; o In-service experience; o Novel or unusual design features (not covered by EMAR 66 Appendix I); o Similarities with other aircraft types; o Special tests and tools/equipment.

• It is acceptable to follow an approach based on:

o Tasks or groups of tasks, or o Systems or subsystems or components.

g) The TNA should:

• Identify the learning objectives for each task, group of tasks, system, subsystem or component; • Associate the identified tasks to be trained to the regulatory requirements (table in Paragraph 3.1 of Appendix III to EMAR 66); • Organise the training into modules in a logical sequence (adequate combination of chapters as defined in Appendix III of EMAR 66); • Determine the sequence of learning (within a lesson and for the whole syllabus); • Identify the scope of information and level of detail with regard to the minimum standard to which the topics of the TNA should be taught according to the set-up objectives. • Address the following:

o Description of each system/component including the structure (where applicable); o System/component operation taking into account:

a. Complexity of the system (e.g. the need of further break down into subsystems, etc.); b. Design specifics which may require more detailed presentation or may contribute to maintenance errors; c. Normal and emergency functioning; d. Troubleshooting; e. Interpretation of indications and malfunctions; f. Use of maintenance publications; g. Identification of special tools and equipment required for servicing and maintaining the aircraft; h. Maintenance Practices; i. Routine inspections, functional or operational tests, rigging/adjustment, etc.

• Describe the following:

o The instructional methods and equipment, teaching methods and blending of the teaching methods in order to ensure the effectiveness of the training; o The maintenance training documentation/material to be delivered to the student; o Facilitated discussions, questioning session, additional practiced-oriented training, etc; o The homework, if developed; o The training provider’s resources available to the learner.

h) It is acceptable to differentiate between issues which have to be led by an instructor and issues which may be delivered through interactive simulation training devices and/or covered by web based elements. Overall time of the course will be allocated accordingly. i) The maximum number of training hours per day for the theoretical element of Military Aircraft Type Training should not be more than 6 hours. A training hour means 60 minutes of tuition excluding any breaks, examination, revision, preparation and aircraft visit. The NMAA may allow deviation from this standard when it is properly justified that the proposed number of hours follows pedagogical and human factors principles. These principles are especially important in those cases where:

• Theoretical and practical training are performed at the same time; • Training and normal maintenance duty / apprenticeship are performed at the same time.

j) The minimum participation time for the trainee in order to meet the objectives of the course should not be less than 90% of the tuition hours of the theoretical training course, unless the NMAA approves otherwise. Additional training may be provided by the training organisation in order to meet the minimum participation time. If the minimum participation defined for the course is not met, a certificate of recognition should not be issued. k) The TNA is a living process and should be reviewed/updated based on operational feedback, maintenance occurrences, airworthiness directives or national equivalent , major service bulletins impacting maintenance activities or requiring new competencies for mechanics, alert service bulletins, feedback from trainees or customer satisfaction, evolution of the maintenance documentation such as Maintenance Review Boards, Maintenance Planning Documents, Maintenance Manuals, etc. The frequency at which the TNA should be reviewed/updated is left to the discretion of the organisation conducting the course. NOTE: The examination is not part of the TNA. However, it should be prepared in accordance with the learning objectives described in the TNA.

AMC to Paragraphs 1(b), 3.2 and 4.2 of Appendix III “Military Aircraft Type Training and Examination Standard, and On-the-Job Training”

Practical Element of the Military Aircraft Type Training

1. The practical training may include instruction in a classroom or in simulators but part of the practical training should be conducted in a real maintenance or manufacturer environment. 2. The tasks should be selected because of their frequency, complexity, variety, safety, criticality, novelty, etc. The selected tasks should cover all the chapters described in the table contained in paragraph 3.2 of Appendix III to EMAR 66. 3. The duration of the practical training should ensure that the content of training required by paragraph 3.2 of Appendix III to EMAR-66 is completed. 4. The organisation providing the practical element of the Military Aircraft Type Training should provide trainees a schedule or plan indicating the list of tasks to be performed under instruction or supervision. A record of the tasks completed should be entered into a logbook which should be designed such that each task or group of tasks may be countersigned by the designated assessor. The logbook format and its use should be clearly defined.

5. In paragraph 4.2 of Appendix III to EMAR 66, the term “designated assessors appropriately qualified” means that the assessors should demonstrate training and experience on the assessment process being undertaken and be authorised to do so by the organisation. Further guidance about the assessment and the designated assessors is provided in Appendix III to AMC to EMAR 66. 6. The practical element (for powerplant and avionic systems) of the Military Aircraft Type Rating Training may be subcontracted by the approved EMAR 147 organisation under its quality system according to the provisions of EMAR 147.A.145(d)3 and the corresponding Guidance Material. 7. The practical element of the Military Aircraft Type Training can be performed concurrently with the OJT element if both are performed on the same military aircraft type and in a real maintenance environment.

AMC to Paragraph 1(c) of Appendix III “Military Aircraft Type Training and Examination Standard, and On-the-Job Training”

Differences Training Approved difference training is not required for different variants within the same aircraft type rating (as specified by the NMAA) for the purpose of Military Aircraft Type Rating endorsement on the MAML. However, this does not necessarily mean that no training is required before a certifying staff authorisation can be issued by the AMO (refer to EMAR AMC 66.A.20(b)3).

AMC to Section 5 of Appendix III “Military Aircraft Type Training and Examination Standard, and On-the-Job Training”

Type Examination Standard NOT APPLICABLE.

AMC to Section 6 of Appendix III “Military Aircraft Type Training and Examination Standard, and On-the-Job Training”

On-the-Job Training (OJT) 1. “A maintenance organisation appropriately approved for the maintenance of the particular aircraft type” means an EMAR 145 AMO holding an A rating for such aircraft. 2. The OJT should include a number of tasks that are carried out under ‘one to one’ supervision (ie one supervisor dedicated to one trainee) and should involve actual work task performance on aircraft/components, covering line and/or base maintenance tasks. 3. The use of simulators for OJT should not be allowed.

4. Appendix II to AMC to EMAR 66 contains a list of tasks, from which a representative sample appropriate to the type and licence (sub-) category applied for, should be extracted and approved by the NMAA. The OJT should cover at least 50% of this approved extracted list. Some tasks should be selected from each paragraph of the approved extracted list. Other tasks than those in the Appendix II may be considered as a replacement when they are relevant. Typically, in addition to the variety and the complexity, the OJT tasks should be selected because of their frequency, safety, novelty, etc. 5. Up to 50% of the required OJT may be undertaken before the aircraft theoretical Military Aircraft Type Training starts. 6. The organisation providing the OJT training should provide trainees a schedule or plan indicating the list of tasks to be performed under supervision. A record of the tasks completed should be entered into a logbook which should be designed such that each task or group of tasks is countersigned by the corresponding supervisor. The logbook format and its use should be clearly defined. 7. Regarding the day-to-day supervision of the OJT programme in the EMAR 145 AMO and the role of the supervisor(s), the following should be considered:

• It is sufficient that the completion of individual OJT tasks is confirmed by the direct supervisor(s), without being necessarily a direct evaluation by the assessor. • During the day-to-day OJT performance, the supervision aims at overseeing the complete process, including task completion, use of manuals and procedures, observance of safety measures, warnings and recommendations and appropriate behaviour in the maintenance environment. • The supervisor(s) should personally observe the work being performed to ensure safe completion and should be readily available for consultation, if needed during the OJT performance. • The supervisor(s) should countersign the tasks and release the maintenance tasks as the trainee is not yet qualified to do so. • The supervisor(s) should therefore:

o have certifying staff or support staff privileges relevant to the OJT tasks; o be competent for the selected tasks; o be safety-orientated; o be capable to coach (setting objectives, giving training, performing supervision, evaluating, handling trainee’s reactions and cultural issues, managing objectively and positively debriefing sessions, determining the need for extra training or reorientate the training, reporting, etc.); o Be designated by the EMAR 145 AMO to carry out the supervision.

8. Regarding the assessor, the following should be considered:

• The function of the assessor, as described in Section 6 of Appendix III to EMAR 66, is to conduct the final assessment of the completed OJT. This assessment should include confirmation of the completion of the required diversity and quantity of OJT and should be based on the supervisor(s) reports and feedback. • In Section 6 of Appendix III to EMAR 66, the term “designated assessor appropriately qualified” means that the assessor should demonstrate training on and experience of the assessment process being undertaken and should be authorised to do so by the EMAR 145 AMO. Further guidance about the assessment and the designated assessors is provided in Appendix III to AMC to EMAR 66.

9. The procedures for OJT should be included in the MOE of the EMAR 145 AMO (a new chapter 3.15 must be included in the MOE for this purpose).

AMC to Appendix III “Military Aircraft Type Training and Examination Standard, and On-the-Job Training”

Military Aircraft Type Training and On-the-Job Training The theoretical and practical training providers, as well as the OJT provider, may contract the services of a language translator in the case where training is imparted to students not conversant in the language of the training material. Nevertheless, it remains essential that the students understand all the relevant maintenance documentation. During the performance of examinations and assessments, the assistance of the translator should be limited to the translation of the questions, but should not provide clarifications or help in relation to those questions.

APPENDICES TO AMCs

Appendix I - Military Aircraft Type Ratings for EMAR Form 26 Military Aircraft Maintenance Licence

The NMAA is responsible for publishing the Military Aircraft Type Ratings that it will endorse on the EMAR Form 26 MAML. It is the responsibility of the EMAR 145 AMO to ensure that any certification privileges issued to the MAML holder are appropriate for the Military Aircraft Type Rating held (EMAR 145.A.35(b)).

Notes:

When there is a change to a Military Aircraft Type Rating (or to an engine designation in the rating) which affects MAMLs already issued, the Military Aircraft Type Ratings on the MAML may be modified when the MAML is next submitted to the NMAA for an amendment unless there is an urgent reason to modify the MAML. The Military Aircraft Type Ratings published by an NMAA for the MAML may be subject to change. MAML holders and EMAR 145 AMOs should ensure they frequently check the latest version issued by the NMAA.

Appendix III - Evaluation of the competence: assessment and assessors

This Appendix applies to the competence assessment performed by the designated assessors (and their qualifications). 1) What does “competence” mean and areas of focus for assessment?

The assessment should aim at measuring the competence by evaluating three major factors associated to the learning objectives:

Knowledge;

Skills;

Attitude; Generally, knowledge is evaluated by examination. The purpose of this document is not to describe the examination process: this material mainly addresses the evaluation of “skills” and “attitude” after training containing practical elements. Nevertheless, the trainee needs to demonstrate to have sufficient knowledge to perform the required tasks. “Attitude” is indivisible from the “skill” as this greatly contributes to the safe performance of the tasks. The evaluation of the competence should be based on the learning objectives of the training, in particular:

the (observable) desired performance. This covers what the trainee is expected to be able to do and how the trainee is expected to behave at the end of the training;

the (measurable) performance standard that must be attained to confirm

the trainee’s level of competence in the form of tolerances, constraints, limits, performance rates or qualitative statements; and

the conditions under which the trainee will demonstrate competence.

Conditions consist of the training methods, the environmental, situational and regulatory factors.

The assessment should focus on the competencies relevant to the aircraft type and its maintenance such as, but not limited to:

Environment awareness (act safely, apply safety precautions and prevent dangerous situations);

Systems integration (demonstrate understanding of aircraft systems

interaction – identify, describe, explain, plan, execute);

Knowledge and understanding of areas requiring special emphasis or of novelty (areas peculiar to the aircraft type, domains not covered by EMAR 66 Appendix I, practical training elements that cannot be imparted through simulation devices, etc.);

Using reports and indications (the ability to read and interpret);

Aircraft documentation finding and handling (identify the appropriate

aircraft documentation, navigate, execute and obey the prescribed maintenance procedures);

Perform maintenance actions (demonstrate safe handling of aircraft,

engines, components and tools);

Aircraft final/close-up and report (apply close-up, initiate appropriate actions/follow-up/records of testing, establish and sign maintenance records/logbooks).

2) How to assess

As far as feasible, the objectives of the assessment should be associated with the learning objectives and the passing level; it means that observable criteria should be set in order to measure the performance and should remain as objective as possible. The general characteristics of effective assessment are: objective, flexible, acceptable, comprehensive, constructive, organised and thoughtful. At the conclusion, the trainee should have no doubt about what he/she did well, what he/she did poorly and how he/she can improve. The following is a non-exhaustive list of questions that may be asked to assist assessment:

What are the success factors for the job?

What are typical characteristics of a correct behaviour for the task?

What criteria should be observed?

What level of expertise is expected?

Is there any standard available?

Minimum or maximum time to achieve? Use time effectively and efficiently.

What if the trainee fails? How many times is the trainee allowed to fail?

When and how should the trainee be prepared for the assessment?

What proportion of judgment by the instructor out of collaboration with the

trainee is needed during the evaluation stage? The assessment may be:

diagnostic (prior to a course), formative (re-orientate the course on areas where there is a need to reinforce) or summative (partial or final evaluation);

performed task-by-task, as a group of tasks or as a final assessment;

One method might be an initial assessment to be performed by the trainee himself, then discussing areas where the perceptions of the trainee’s performance by the assessors differ in order to:

develop the self-assessment habits;

make the assessment more acceptable and understandable to both parties.

In addition, many other aspects should be appropriately considered during the assessment process such as stress and environmental conditions, difficulty of the test, history of evaluation (such as tangible progresses or sudden and unexpected poor performance made by the trainee), amount of time necessary to build competence, etc. All these reasons place more emphasis on the competence of the assessor.

3) Who should assess

In order to qualify, the assessor should:

Be proficient and have sufficient experience and knowledge in:

o human performance and safety culture;

o the aircraft type;

o training/coaching/testing skills;

o instructional tools to use;

Understand the objective and the content of the practical elements of the training that is being assessed;

(professionalism, sincerity, objectivity and neutrality, analysis skills, sense of judgement, flexibility, capability of evaluating the supervisor’s or instructor’s reports, handling of trainee’s reactions to failing an assessment taking into account the trainee’s cultural environment, being constructive, etc.);

Be ultimately designated by the organisation to carry out the assessment.

The roles may be combined for:

the assessor and the instructor for the practical elements of the Military Aircraft Type Rating Training; or

the assessor and the supervisor for the On-the-Job Training

provided that the objectives associated to each role are clearly understood and that the competence and qualification criteria according to the organisation’s procedures are met for both functions. Whenever possible (depending on the size of the organisation), it is recommended to split the roles (two different persons) in order to avoid any conflict of interests. When the functions are not combined, the role of each function should be clearly understood.

GUIDANCE MATERIAL

SECTION A

TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS

GM 66.A.3 MAML categories

Individual Military Aircraft Maintenance Licence (MAML) holders need not be restricted to a single category. Provided that each qualification requirement is satisfied, any combination of categories may be granted.

GM 66.A.20(a) Privileges

1. The following definitions apply:

Electrical system means the aircraft electrical power supply source, plus the distribution system to the different components contained in the aircraft and relevant connectors. Lighting systems are also included in this definition. When working on cables and connectors which are part of these electrical systems, the following typical practices are included in the privileges:

- Continuity, insulation and bonding techniques and testing; - Crimping and testing of crimped joints; - Connector pin removal and insertion; - Wiring protection techniques.

Avionics system means an aircraft system that transfers, processes, displays or stores analogue or digital data using data lines, data buses, coaxial cables, wireless or other data transmission medium, and includes the system’s components and connectors. Examples of avionics systems include the following:

- Autoflight; - Communication, Radar and Navigation; - Instruments (see NOTE below); - Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA); - On-Board Maintenance Systems; - Information Systems; - Fly-by-Wire Systems (related to S1000D“Flight Controls”); - Fibre Optic Control Systems.

NOTE: Instruments are formally included in the privileges of the B2 MAML holders. However, maintenance on electro-mechanical and pitot-static components may also be released by a B1 MAML holder.

Armament, rescue and escape systems and other military-specific systems means systems associated with the carriage, targeting and release of weapons; reconnaissance and surveillance equipment; self-protection, electronic warfare and aircrew escape systems. Examples of armament, rescue and escape systems and other military-specific systems include the following:

- weapons; - weapons release/launch mechanisms; - Ejection seats.

Simple test means a test described in approved maintenance data and meeting all the following criteria:

- The serviceability of the system can be verified using aircraft controls, switches, Built-in Test Equipment (BITE), Central Maintenance Computer (CMC) or external test equipment not involving special training; - The outcome of the test is a unique go–no go indication or parameter, which can be a single value or a value within an interval tolerance. No interpretation of the test result or interdependence of different values is allowed; - The test does not involve more than 10 actions as described in the approved maintenance data (not including those required to configure the aircraft prior to the test, i.e. jacking, flaps down, etc., or to return the aircraft to its initial configuration). Pushing a control, switch or button, and reading the corresponding outcome may be considered as a single step even if the maintenance data shows them separated.

Troubleshooting means the procedures and actions necessary to identify the root cause of a defect or malfunction using approved maintenance data. It may include the use of BITE or external test equipment. Line maintenance means any maintenance that is carried out before flight to ensure that the aircraft is fit for the intended flight. It may include:

- troubleshooting; - defect rectification; - component replacement with the use of external test equipment, if required. Component replacement may include components such as engines and propellers;

- scheduled maintenance and/or checks including visual inspections that will detect obvious unsatisfactory conditions/discrepancies but do not require extensive in-depth inspection. It may also include internal structure, systems and powerplant items which are visible through quick opening access panels/doors; - minor repairs and modifications which do not require extensive disassembly and can be accomplished by simple means.

Base Maintenance means any task falling outside the criteria that are given above for Line Maintenance.

2. NOT APPLICABLE. 3. The Category C MAML permits certification of scheduled base maintenance by the issue of a single “certificate of release to service for aircraft” after the completion of all such maintenance. The basis for this certification is that the maintenance has been carried out by competent mechanics and Category B1, B2 support staff, as appropriate, who have signed for the maintenance tasks under their respective specialisation. The principal function of the Category C certifying staff is to ensure that all required maintenance has been called up and signed off by the Category B1, B2 support staff, as appropriate, before issue of the “certificate of release to service for aircraft”. Only Category C personnel who also hold the appropriate Category B1 or B2 endorsement may perform both roles in base maintenance.

GM 66.A.20(b)2 Privileges

The sentence “met the provision for the issue of the appropriate privileges” included in EMAR 66.A.20(b)2 means that during the previous 2 years the person has met all the requirements for the endorsement of the corresponding Military Aircraft Type Rating. This supersedes the need for 6 months of experience for the first 2 years. However, the requirement of 6 months of experience in the preceding 2 years will need to be met after the second year.

GM 66.A.20(b)4 Privileges

1. Holders of a MAML may only exercise certification privileges when they have a general knowledge of the language used within the maintenance environment including knowledge of common aeronautical terms in the language. The level of knowledge should be such that the MAML holder is able to:

- read and understand the instructions and technical manuals used for the performance of maintenance; - make written technical entries and any maintenance documentation entries, which can be understood by those with whom they are normally required to communicate; - read and understand the AMO procedures;

CO

- communicate at such a level so as to prevent any misunderstanding when exercising certification privileges.

2. In all cases, the level of understanding should be compatible with the level of certification privileges exercised.

GM 66.A.25(a) Basic knowledge requirements

The levels of knowledge for each MAML (sub)category are directly related to the complexity of the certifications related to the corresponding MAML (sub)category, which means that Category A should demonstrate a limited but adequate level of knowledge, whereas Category B1 and B2 should demonstrate a complete level of knowledge in the appropriate subject modules.

GM 66.A.25(d) Basic knowledge requirements Where the relevant basic knowledge requirements remain unchanged, no additional training is required for credit renewal.

GM 66.A.30(a) Basic experience requirements

1. While an applicant for a Category C MAML may be qualified by having 3 years’ experience as a Category B1 or B2 certifying staff only in line maintenance, it is however recommended that any applicant for a Category C holding a B1 or B2 MAML demonstrate at least 12 months experience as a B1 or B2 support staff. 2. A ‘skilled worker’ is a person who has successfully completed training acceptable to the NMAA and involving the manufacture, repair, overhaul or inspection of mechanical, electrical, electronic or, where applicable, military-specific equipment. The training would include the use of tools and measuring devices. 3. Maintenance experience on operating military aircraft:

- Means the experience of being involved in maintenance tasks on aircraft which are being operated by the military and state aircraft; - Should cover a wide range of tasks in length, complexity and variety; - Aims at gaining sufficient experience in the real environment of military aircraft maintenance as opposed to only the training school environment; - May be combined with EMAR 147 approved training so that periods of training can be intermixed with periods of experience, similar to an apprenticeship.

4. Within the meaning of EMAR AMC 66.A.30(a) paragraph 1, the term “engineering” refers to activities performed within an EMAR 145 organisation or within a CAMO that are associated with repairs and modifications (which may or may not need to be further processed for approval) in accordance with the MOE.

5. Where the practical element of the Military Aircraft Type Training is performed concurrently with the OJT element and both are performed on the same military aircraft type and in a real maintenance environment, this can count towards the experience requirements detailed in EMAR 66.A.30.

GM 66.A.40 Continued validity of the Military Aircraft Maintenance Licence

The validity of the MAML is not affected by recency of maintenance experience whereas the validity of the EMAR 66.A.20 privileges is affected by maintenance experience as specified in EMAR 66.A.20(b).

GM 66.A.45 Military Aircraft Type Ratings

Moved to EMAR AMC 66.A.45.

GM 66.A.70 Conversion provisions

1. As described in point EMAR 66.A.70, the conversion provisions apply to the holder of a valid certifying staff qualification prior to the date of entry into force of EMAR 66. This means that the signature of that person was sufficient to declare that the maintenance had been properly performed and the aircraft was ready for service and fit for flight in respect to such maintenance. 2. The conversion applies to “certifying staff qualifications” such as, for example:

- Holding a pre-existing national licence or equivalent (or completed the process to obtain such a national licence); - Having completed a qualification process defined by the NMAA to become certifying staff; - Having completed the qualification requirements for certifying staff within an AMO, as defined in its procedures.

This does not mean that in order to be entitled to a conversion process, the applicant has to be exercising certification privileges. A person may hold a “certifying staff qualification” while not having certification privileges (or while exercising very limited certification privileges below his/her qualification) for different reasons such as, for example, the following:

- The person is working as “support staff” in the base maintenance environment; - The person has been authorised only for a very limited range of tasks (lower than what he/she would be entitled if his/her qualification were considered) since the person is working in a line station where the scope of tasks is very limited; - The person holds a licence or national equivalent with a wider scope than the scope of the organisation where he/she is employed; - The person is working outside the military aviation environment or is temporarily on leave due to different reasons (medical, personal, etc.).

These persons are entitled to have the conversion performed in accordance with the full scope of their qualification and the full privileges that they would be entitled to hold on the basis of such qualification. 3. NOT APPLICABLE. 4. Although only those “certifying staff qualifications” gained prior to the introduction of EMAR 66 are eligible for conversion, this does not mean that the application for conversion has to be submitted prior to those dates. The applicant is entitled to have the conversion performed irrespective of when he/she applies for conversion. 5. NOT APPLICABLE. 6. A limitation may be needed where a person holds a pre-existing licence or other qualification for the maintenance of aircraft which covered, to the standard of EMAR 66 Appendix I and II, all the modules/subjects corresponding to the B1 MAML except for electrical power systems. This person would receive an EMAR 66 MAML in the B1 Category with a limitation (exclusion) on electrical power systems. For removal of limitations, refer to EMAR 66.A.50(c).

Training levels are those levels defined in point 2 above.

After the first type course for category C certifying staff, all subsequent courses need only be to level 1.

During a level 3 theoretical training, level 1 and 2 training material may be used to teach the full scope of the chapter if required. However, during the training the majority of the course material and training time shall be at level 3.

(c) Duration:

NOT USED.

(d) Justification of course duration:

Training courses carried out in an MTO shall justify their hour duration and the coverage of the full syllabus by a training needs analysis based on:

- the design of the aircraft type, its maintenance needs and the types of operation,

- detailed analysis of applicable chapters — see contents table in point 3.1(e) below,

- detailed competency analysis showing that the objectives as stated in point 3.1(a) above are fully met.

Course duration shall be approved by the DAAA. Similarly, tuition hours of differences courses or other training course combinations (such as combined B1/B2 courses), and in cases of theoretical type training courses, these shall be justified by the training needs analysis as described above.

In addition, the course documentation must describe and justify the following:

- The minimum attendance required by the student, in order to meet the objectives of the course.

- The maximum number of hours of training per day, taking into account pedagogical and human factors principles.

If the minimum attendance required is not met, the certificate of recognition shall not be issued. Additional training may be provided by the MTO in order to meet the minimum attendance time.

(e) Content:

As a minimum, the elements in the Syllabus below that are specific to the aircraft type shall be covered. Additional elements introduced due to type variations, technological changes, etc. shall also be included.

(f) Multimedia Based Training (MBT) methods may be used to satisfy the theoretical training element either in the classroom or in a virtual controlled environment subject to the acceptance of the DAAA approving the training course.

3.2 Practical element

(a) Objective:

The objective of practical training is to gain the required competence in performing safe maintenance, inspections and routine work according to the maintenance manual and other relevant instructions and tasks as appropriate for the type of aircraft, for example troubleshooting, repairs, adjustments, replacements, rigging and functional checks. It includes the awareness of the use of all technical literature and documentation for the aircraft, the use of specialist/special tooling and test equipment for performing removal and replacement of components and modules unique to type, including any on-wing maintenance activity.

(b) Content:

At least 50 % of the crossed items in the table below, which are relevant to the particular aircraft type, shall be completed as part of the practical training. Tasks crossed represent subjects that are important for practical training purposes to ensure that the operation, function, installation and safety significance of key

maintenance tasks is adequately addressed; particularly where these cannot be fully explained by theoretical training alone. Although the list details the minimum practical training subjects, other items may be added where applicable to the particular aircraft type. Tasks to be completed shall be representative of the aircraft and systems both in complexity and in the technical input required to complete that task. While relatively simple tasks may be included, other more complex tasks shall also be incorporated and undertaken as appropriate to the aircraft type.

4. Type training examination and assessment standard

4.1 Theoretical element examination standard

After the theoretical portion of the aircraft type training has been completed, a written examination shall be performed, which shall comply with the following:

(a) Format of the examination is of the multi-choice type. Each multi-choice question shall have at least 3 alternative answers of which only one shall be the correct answer. The total time is based on the total number of questions and the time for answering is based upon a nominal average of 90 seconds per question.

(b) The incorrect alternatives shall seem equally plausible to anyone ignorant of the subject. All the alternatives shall be clearly related to the question and of similar vocabulary, grammatical construction and length.

(c) In numerical questions, the incorrect answers shall correspond to procedural errors such as the use of incorrect sense (+ versus -) or incorrect measurement units. They shall not be mere random numbers.

(d) The level of examination for each chapter (*) shall be the one defined in point 2 "Aircraft type training levels". However, the use of a limited number of questions at a lower level is acceptable.

(e) The examination shall be of the closed book type. No reference material is permitted. An exception will be made for the case of examining a B1 or B2 candidate’s ability to interpret technical documents.

(f) The number of questions shall be at least 1 question per hour of instruction. The number of questions for each chapter and level shall be proportionate to:

- the effective training hours spent teaching at that chapter and level,

- the learning objectives as given by the training needs analysis.

The DAAA will assess the number and the level of the questions when approving the course.

(g) The minimum examination pass mark is 75 %. When the type training examination is split in several examinations, each examination shall be passed with at least a 75 % mark. In order to be possible to achieve exactly a 75 % pass mark, the number of questions in the examination shall be a multiple of 4.

(h) Penalty marking (negative points for failed questions) is not to be used.

(i) End of module phase examinations cannot be used as part of the final examination unless they contain the correct number and level of questions required.

(*) For the purpose of this point 4, a "chapter" means each one of the rows preceded by a number in the table contained in point 3.1(e).

(b) The assessment shall evaluate the knowledge and skills of the trainee.

5. Type examination standard

NOT USED. 6. On the Job Training

On the Job Training (OJT) shall be approved by the DAAA who has issued the MAML.

It shall be conducted at and under the control of a maintenance organisation appropriately approved for the maintenance of the particular aircraft type/component and shall be assessed by designated assessors appropriately qualified.

It shall have been started and completed within the 3 years preceding the application for a type/component rating endorsement.

(a) Objective:

The objective of OJT is to gain the required competence and experience in performing safe maintenance.

(b) Content:

OJT shall cover a cross section of tasks acceptable to the DAAA. The OJT tasks to be completed shall be representative of the aircraft and systems both in complexity and in the technical input required to complete that task. While relatively simple tasks may be included, other more complex maintenance tasks shall also be incorporated and undertaken as appropriate to the aircraft type. Each task shall be signed off by the student and countersigned by a designated supervisor. The tasks listed shall refer to an actual job card/work sheet, etc.

The final assessment of the completed OJT is mandatory and shall be performed by a designated assessor, appropriately qualified.

The following data shall be addressed on the OJT worksheets/logbook:

1. Name of Trainee; 2. Date of Birth; 3. Service Number or Employee Number
